Hello, I have written the following code to look at a table on a website of foreign exchange currency data and extract the bid and ask price, at an interval of 5 minutes, and store these in some CSV files with differing timestamps. My script seems to open the filehandles fine(it creates the files that need to be written to), but the actual files turn out blank upon inspection. I have run through this script with the debugger for hours today, and it is finding my regular expressions and everything, my print commands just seem to be broken. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, David.
